It also features a cozy sitting room, with a twin sized fold out couch, a wood stove, a microwave & fridge, and a private bathroom with shower and tub. The cottage is only a stone's throw from Austin Creek swimming hole.

Share a romantic evening in front of the propane wood stove or by the campfire.

Please note that Elim Grove Cottage can sleep up to 3 people including the twin sofa bed. Children 4 and under are free.

For larger groups of up to 17 persons, book Elim Grove Cottage together with Gravenstein Cottage, Paradise Grove Cottage, Creekside Cottage and Baker's Loft - all located on the grounds near the bakery.

'We stayed a few nights with Mark and Elizabeth, and all I can say is they are the best hosts ever. . .Our daughter loved the little playground next to the bakery, it was also a plus that Mark offered a stroller which we forgot at home. Every morning a hot breakfast was provided and it was delicious!'

About Mark Weiss

Sixteen years ago I fell in love with an abandoned restaurant with four tired cottages on three acres of wild blackberries and old growth redwoods on Austin Creek. It has been an exhausting/exhilarating labor of love that has enriched our lives in more ways than we ever imagined. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we have!

Mark Weiss purchased this Cottage in 2002

Why Mark Weiss chose Cazadero

Come stay with us and benefit from the tranquility and beauty of Austin Creek with majestic Old Growth redwoods towering above. Relax and unwind in our little corner of paradise.
Our Cottages are located on the grounds of award-winning Raymond’s Bakery. While you are here, you are welcome to enjoy an afternoon in the garden, take a stroll along Austin Creek, play bocce, relax under the gazebo or nap under the Gravenstein apple tree. In the evenings you can unwind by the campfire.

What makes this Cottage unique

We own and are the bakers at Raymond's Bakery Bed & Breakfast just a three minute walk around the redwoods. So be ready for some gold-medal baked goodies to welcome you to our corner of paradise. We can also share the secrets of a few swimming holes and where to find the best skipping stones.

Notes

Our bakery is open Friday evenings for our Community Pizza, Beer & Wine Night. We do pause Friday nights from early November through mid January to give our awesome staff a break for the holidays. The B&B is always open and breakfast is included for each morning of your stay. We bake fresh pastries and goodies every morning for our guests as well as roasting our own coffee!

Mark was a wonderful, warm, and welcoming host. My husband and I enjoyed staying in the clean, charming Elim cabin. We spent each morning in the bakery eating delicious fresh breads, playing board games with friends and chatting with other guests, Mark, and his kids. During the day, we spent time in Guerneville and went floating on the Russian River. We would stay here again!

Mark is a great host! It is my second time going there and I usually like to try new places rather than going back to the same. Mark is very welcoming and the place is very nice, quite and great home made breakfast!

We enjoyed our mini family vacation in Elim Grove Cottage. Mark is a generous and friendly host who made us feel at home, and am amazing baker! Multiple kinds of fresh bread from the oven for breakfast was a treat, along with eggs, yogurt, and fruit. The bed was also very comfortable, there was a separate little bedroom for our kiddo, a beautiful creek to play in, and even a waterfall within easy walking distance. We'd be happy to go back. Thanks for your hospitality, Mark!
